Daniel Caudill
Kansas Statehouse Bureau Chief, Kansas News ServiceKansas is known to have one of the least transparent processes for making laws in the country. Bills often become law with no public hearings and sometimes without any opportunity for lawmakers to meaningfully debate them in public. As the Statehouse bureau chief for Kansas Public Radio and the Kansas News Service, it’s my job to keep you aware of late-night conference committee meetings, “gut and go’s,” and any other maneuver state legislators might make in an attempt to avoid public scrutiny.
